Free Licence

Hi Kylie, You commented on something re: copyright. I had an image deleted previously and wanted to know if you have any suggestions to have it released it under a suitable 'free' licence. A sort of quick and dirty how to have this uploaded without being deleted.

Does the owner of the work - in this case the publisher have to do or can I proxy with the appropriate permission.

/Obltkg4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obltkg4 (talk • contribs) 17:12, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Obltkg4, copyright on Wikipedia is a difficult/complex subject - and it's even more strictly applied over on commons were the image was remove from. Firstly I'd recommend reading the notice on your commons talk page HERE where you'll find some links, and the editor who removed the image and could maybe help. Unfortunately their is no "quick and dirty" way for images that have been already published not under a 'free' licence. To publish on commons the copyright owner has to give permission because although you know that you have permission to anyone else your an unknown person just claiming that on the internet. It actually looks like they may have made it easier than the old method, if you look at Commons:OTRS in the Declaration of consent for all enquiries section there is a link to a Wikimedia OTRS release generator - I've not used but hopefully it is easy enough although if they don't want to upload the image with the release then they'll need to know the file name File:AugustEnigma.jpg. Otherwise people should release publicity images on there own websites with a CC-BY/CC-BY-SA etc licence clearly marked (see Commons:Licensing). Hope that helps.

The Nairobi Hospital article

Hi Kylie!

Thank you for undoing the modification I tried to The Nairobi Hospital. I could not add an image because I have not reached the minimum edits to be enabled to upload media! Would you please add the logo as I tried?

Just wanted to let you know that there is already a Page for the Movie Love Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Day_-_Pyaar_Ka_Din Love Day - Pyaar Ka Din is the full name of the Movie.

Jose/beFORe JOHN5

Yes, I agree, it is odd, but it is what it is... Not the only recent song title where the composer has overlaid a second title/message... Two years ago, the same corps did Andy Akiho's "to wALk Or ruN in wEst harlem" which a couple other corps did this year... Odd, but I guess it works for the composers...

New Zealand Scout Jamboree

Hey KylieTastic

Im just going to let you know that I Will Change Back the Edits For the NZ Scout Jamboree Page as I currently Work For them As Part of Their Media And marketing team there is a plan in place to create 19th and 20th jamboree pages in conjunction with this main page to keep this information relevant to our event

--Crazycart00n (talk) 22:40, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Crazycart00n thanks for the heads-up, but I'm just one of many editors that would have picked up the same concern as I see Velella already has. As you state you work for them there are a number of polices that you must be aware of: Firstly is Wikipedia:Conflict of interest which strongly discourages these types of edit. Next would be to point out Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a platform for promotion see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not especially WP:PROMOTION. Lastly yo can just remove information with intent to create new pages sometime later. If an editor wanted to do this they should either prepare all the pages in there own user area or in draft, or a more normal approach is just to add to a page and move out sections to there own pages if and when they get big enough to stand alone. In this case I don't see enough information for separate pages. I would suggest asking for assistance at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, or WikiProject New Zealand or WikiProject Scouting. I've done a quick tidy as well. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:50, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey KylieTastic

Thank you for the information and the tidy i had no intention on using it as promotion for our event even. At the time it did not show what nz jamboree was about i have just found it really hard to find information on nz jamborees even for editing this. i have asked nz jamboree officials to hopefully receive some more history on previous ones. It was misunderstood that wikipedia could be edited by others and i was asked to have look into this, We work on volunteer basis i did not understand that This could be Wikipedia:Conflict of interest how ever as im relatively new to editing on Wikipedia and seem to have missed Somethings so again thank you for pointing me in the right direction Crazycart00n (talk) 22:33, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Crazycart00n, no problem at all - we don't expect people to know all the rules (I still don't know many and I've been doing this for years) and one important one is Wikipedia:Assume good faith. Also most cases of Conflict of interest are well meaning, and most 'promotional' content is done with the best of intentions, and it can often be a fine line between 'encyclopedic' and 'promotional'. So you didn't misunderstand that "wikipedia could be edited by others", that's correct in fact all content is just added by volunteers not by any paid staff. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 15:02, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Roberta Colindrez

You revered my edit, I am assuming because the name of the TV Movie has the word "Dick" in it. Am I supposed to censor that word? It is also directly cited in one of the references on the page. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4295500 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Susanev (talk • contribs) 16:04, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Susanev, no we don't censor on Wikipedia - however with a reference or any edit summary it just looked like the sort of vandalism we get a lot of. We can't check every dubious looking entry (or the vandals would win due to volume) so its the responsibility of editors to add sources and explain actions via edit summaries. So apologies for the mistake, I've added back with a reference and please add edit summaries especially if the edit is non obvious or could look dubious to others. All the best and happy editing, KylieTastic (talk) 16:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted image on Woods Hole Research Center page

Thanks for removing the link to the image that had already been deleted.

But I was wondering how people upload logos to Wikipedia. Logos are obviously copyrighted (which I assume is why mine was deleted) but I see plenty of logos on Wikipedia pages.

Thanks again — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeadvilleDave (talk • contribs) 20:10, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi LeadvilleDave, you can upload logo under fair use locally to Wikipedia but not to Wikimedia Commons. Commons only hosts 'free' media but on English Wikipedia (and I believe similarly on other languages) allow some copyrighted images under fair use. Start here and use the options for "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." and "This is a logo of an organization, company, brand, etc." make sure you five the source, the article it will be used on (fair use images can only be used in one place), and for why the use will be minimal something like "Only used in infobox to inform users on subject". Hope that helps KylieTastic (talk) 20:34, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Children's TV articles and removing red-linked images therein

Hi there! These articles are attracting several IP vandals, it would be more beneficial to simply undo the last edit or revert to the last good version. Thanks for contributing! –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:35, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please, it doesn't make sense to remove nonexistent image links when the article isn't even grammatically correct! You're seeing some of these disruptive edits before I do, would be nice if you'd revert them. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:37, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Skywatcher68, again you don't say which article your talking about, making it difficult to comment. If I see a reason to full revert I do, if not I don't. Since the edit before you posted here was on Busytown Mysteries and I had previously edited that I assume this is the article in question, however I fail to see the huge "isn't even grammatically correct" part in what you reverted with this edit. Yes they fail to understand an/a usage but as they are from Puerto Rico, I would Assume good faith that English is not their first language. Since neither version had any direct reference for "opentheme", "country" or "last_aired" I'm in no position to claim either correct. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:58, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not any one article or IP. Several IPs, all suspected to be socks of one blocked user, have been making mass unsourced changes to articles pertaining to children's TV, mainly replacing actual original channels and air dates with US-centric ones. The phenomenon has become so bad that SummerPhDv2.0 made a point of noting it on her user page. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 22:29, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New images for ETS theory

Hi Kylie you've deleted the links to images for the Geodakyan's evolutionary theory of sex - however those images were new, in comparison to the deleted previously due to copyright violation. I uploaded new images but Wiki did hang (twice) in this process. So I wonder what happened to my new uploads. In any case I am going to rename the images and rename the links, to avoid old references. So please treat them with attention, they are my product, not copyrighted. KaiStr (talk) 20:26, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi KaiStr I've never had an issue uploading images here or on commons but I have had others mention occasional problems. I have never tired to upload to a file name that has previously been deleted so maybe that causes an issue. I can see you have only edited here on English Wikipedia and you only have 1 file uploaded Special:ListFiles/KaiStr, so all I can suggest is try uploading again. As for the final comment, if you've created these yourself you'll and they have not been published elsewhere you should have no issues.

  • Hi 92.232.28.133 it was removed because "She is very interesting" is not encyclopedic, but a personal comment. How do you think articles would be if it was considered ok to add such commnets? Wikipedia is not social media or the youtube comment section, such opinions are not even vaild on talk pages. I'nm sure you did it in good faith, but its just not what Wikipedia is for. Where such additions are not found right away you then tend to get someone postying the opposite - such is the way with opinions. If you do find her interesting then maybe once your block expires you can find other sourced information to add in a more encyclopedic format.

Naga people (Lanka)

Hi KylieTastic, The last article was based on falsify facts and misleading. I've read many articles and journals about this topic and therefore I know that the former article is a fabrication. The Yaksha people or the ancestors of Veddas are descendant of Polynesian. According to the prof, Balagalla who researched about the origin of the languages Sri Lanka, the Naga people were the Aryans who came to Sri Lanka at the same time Aryans reach to India. But most of the reference are written journals and therefore I'm in a bit difficulty to provide the links to them as the haven't converted in to e versions yet. And I'm willing to improve it further and cann't improve much right now since I'm in a bit busy schedule. However I think this article is better than a misleading article. Thanks for the talk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neelyadi (talk • contribs) 18:43, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Neelyadi, I agree that Naga people (Lanka) needs to be improved as indicated by the maintenance tags at the top, however you can't just deleted everything including lots of sourced material. Your version also had errors, no categories, the lead sentence didn't make sense. I would suggest improving it by making smaller edits with edit summaries so others can see the reasons behind edits. Feel free to remove unsourced assertions, but don't just delete sourced material without good reason. If you only have one contradictory source then the correct action is not to replace content with your preferred version but to add yours to show the difference of opinions.

  • Hi AlexKMH, yes that looks good much better, just a missing http:// that I've added. Although in theory every substantive statement should have a source on Wikipedia it's a policy applied more strictly when dealing with Biographies of living persons. I know it can be hard for decent people to understand because they would never do it, but some people do just make things up to push their own point of view. All the best and happy editing.

Chitt66's question

Why do you delete images, that are improperly sourced, some times, by mistake and don't give me chance to redeem myself and fix the image source. Why are all edits, on my images, you delete, one time, final? I'm volunteering my time, many times large numbers of hours, to help make Wikipedia, a respected and legitimate, internet site? I'm doing my best to fix my mistakes? I don't think this is fair or consistant, with Wiki policies, especially from me. I've created numerous Infoboxes, to articles, that need them and add many images to them, also. I'm not attacking your work, but I don't understand what is going on?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chitt66 (talk • contribs)

  • Hi Chitt66 I didn't delete any images because I am not an administrator. I assume you talking about on De Lancey's Brigade where I removed the red-link to the deleted image? Per your talk page noice (here) you were notified on the 5th Sept by Sfan00 IMG that File:De Lancey's Brigade II Lefferts.jpg did not have a valid non-use explanation. The image was delete on the 13th Sept by Explicit. You appear then to have twice tried to add the link back without re-uploading or asking for the image to be undleted by providing the correct details. So to answer your points:
  • "and don't give me chance to redeem myself" - you where notified and did have 7 days to fix
  • "Why are all edits, on my images, you delete, one time, final?" - Firstly I can't comment on deleted images I had no involvement with, but copyright is taken very seriously by Wikipedia/Wikimedia as it is a legal requirment. Your not alone in having images deleted and not understanding some of the reasons (I've had images deleted as have many editors) - copyright is complex! Secondly who said it was final? If there is a relevant license or Non-free use rationale you can re-upload, or ask the deleting admin to undelete if you give them the relevant details.
  • "I'm volunteering my time" - And thank you for that, it's great that people do or we would have no Wikipedia as we all volunteer. I have volunteered over 100,000 edits and Sfan00 IMG over 500,000.
  • "I'm doing my best to fix my mistakes?" - Great! We all make mistakes, and hopefully we all do our best to fix them. I get reverted for the odd mistake, and I've reverted mistakes by many experienced editors and admins. Please don't take it personally it's usually not.
  • All I can suggest is when you get a notice on your talk page about an image, try to fix it if its an obvious error, or otherwise conteact the notifying editor who can advise. Hope that helps explai things - Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:32, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Andrea Scotti

Unfair Censorship of the Threat that Lizard People Pose to Mankind

Dear Sir or Madam,

I write to you with great concern. I earlier posted on another person's comment section. As I previously mentioned, I have incontrovertible proof that Gavrilo Princip was indeed a Lizard person, and that he had been embedded with the Black Hand to instigate a war which would kill mankind. Moreover, I also have proof that Michael Gordon, a journalist with the New York Times, is also a Lizard person. I know this as I met him, and his glove slipped off and I saw into his slitted, yellow reptilian eyes. Furthermore, I have heard from sources within the government and military that he was especially adept at dealing with the harsh desert landscape in Iraq. I want this change rectified as I believe this to be censorship of pressing material. Lastly, I also have evidence (I have studied the records of the former regime of Saddam Hussein, who is not a Lizard person), and I have evidence that can substantiate my claim that Iraq had in fact found the Stargate. The tubes in the desert which prompted the First Gulf War were nothing more than excavation materials. Iraq never had nor never desired a nuclear weapons program. Knowing that the possession of the Stargate would allow Iraqis to travel to other galaxies in the pursuit of superior technology, the U.S. was forced to act. I can prove this with internal documents from the regime.

Last, as an amateur biologist, I do not believe that the nomenclature is correct for so-called horses. Rather, I believe that "neigh" is the more appropriate substitute; the same is true for bears. We call them bears, when in fact they are not bears, they are "werebear-the-carebears," which I believe reflects the more appropriate combination of correct science and the respect for beliefs of native americans.

I believe both claims reflect censorship and animus towards truth and truth-telling. To appropriate the framework posited by Michel Foucault, you are a node of power, and a tyrannical one at that, and I believe that it is my duty to speak truth-to-power in order to rectify the previous two misunderstandings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.75.14 (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:59:11, 27 October 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Henry1950


I am working on adding citations to the Steven R. Timmermans draft, but I am wondering how you define "notability." For example, why is a minor-league hockey player, e.g. Jared Staal, more notable than the head of a denomination and former college president, e.g. Steven Timmermans?

Henry1950 (talk) 14:59, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Henry1950 Wikipedia has a number of 'notability' standards in this case Wikipedia:Notability (people) is the one that counts also Wikipedia:Notability for the general rules. Note that Wikipedia 'notabily' is not the same as 'inportance' and often just comes down to being written about (i.e being noted) by others. So that can mean that a person or organisation that have done important things that have not been writen about is not 'notable' and people such as minor sports people or celebrities only famous for being famous can be notable. So if they have done 'notable' things then adding citations is the correct thing to do. I hope that helps explain things - All the best KylieTastic (talk) 15:38, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That helps, thank you.

Why have you reverted my change? I've talked about my reasons on the article's Talk page, and you have not responsed in any way... 80.108.76.31 (talk) 15:27, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi 80.108.76.31, sorry I didn't see the discussion on the talk page, and I was remiss in not putting the reason in my edit summary. I reverted because it got flagged as an error as you broke three images with your version here. Without an edit summary saying to see the talk page it looked like just a random search/replace (that people often do breaking things). I have done a partial revert back to your version, but I have fixed the broken images. Luckily the wiki links tollerate the difference. Sorry about the confusion - All the best KylieTastic (talk) 16:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to my edition to sections in International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad page

Hellow, I received a message from you stating certain sections of the page have been a violation of copyright material. This is to inform you that I am making the edits on behalf of the said institute and they have instructed me to use the material found on their pages and websites. I am therefore not infringing any rules and I hold the full permission to use the material in any way needed to enhance the page on International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. The editions on the Director, Dean (R&D) and Dean (Academic) have been added (and deleted by you) on the request of the institute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nanavati.sneha (talk • contribs) 12:08, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Heliopolis

Thanks for the message. There was a new luxury ocean liner called Heliopolis launched in 1907. Also in that year, immigrants from Malaga crammed into a old ship called Heliopolis to emigrate to Hawaii. Someone has amended the page and assumed it is the same ship. It is not and I have also provided a link to the photo of the 2nd vessel. I am a writer on ships and have published the Compendium of the World's Passenger Ships. My website is at www.shiphistory.co.uk Sorry about the many edits - I was trying to get to grips with the site.

  • Hi Donships, the best way to start is with small edits - the wiki markup is not that complex but takes a few edits to get used to. However also not that we have a policy Wikipedia:No original research and information should be sourced (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources). So yes if you think information is incorrect and it does not have a source then its ok to remove, if it does have a source then you need to provide a better (more reliable) one you cant just assert that you know. Many of us have expertise in areas, but without sources others can not tell the expert from the (numerous) trolls, or the just misinformed. If you do have questions or want advise I recommend the Wikipedia Teahouse where you'll find lots of experienced editors. All the best. KylieTastic (talk) 22:42, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is your Spanish?

I have created a new set of shields for Mexican federal highways that are ready to upload. However, the document from which I got the drawings is in Spanish (not my first language, but I can get by) and I can't find any mention that the document or the signs depicted therein are in the public domain. So, could you or do you know anybody who speaks Spanish natively who could look it over to find any licensing information? It's located here: http://www.sct.gob.mx/normatecaNew/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/SCT_NIS_0419.pdf Thanks. –Fredddie™ 05:15, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think I would agree with that assessment Fredddie, if added to commons there is a reasonable risk of them being challenged and deleted. Unloading to ENWP and tagging {{PD-ineligible-USonly}} would seam a reasonable route to go. — KylieTastic (talk) 15:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Plowshare

Hi.

Minor query, but I'd really like to know. Recently you undid a change I made to the article for Operation Plowshare (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plowshare) as, if I remember correctly, being 'unconstructive'.

The edit I made was to the following sentence:

"This became the first crater on Earth, definitely proven to be from an impact event."

I had removed the comma, as leaving it in would imply that the Sedan crater was in fact the first crater formed upon the planet. It's not comma splicing but I think it lies upon similar lines.

I understand that new users are encouraged to make edits in a sandbox, but this seems unnecessary when correcting a small yet obvious grammatical error. In this case I fail to see exactly how it is unconstructive.

Any response would be appreciated. Probably.

cheers
